Deff Rolla work and Kill Kannon
The nice thing about working on something so large is if I get bored/frustrated/uninspired with one thing, I can always pick another part to work on until inspiration strikes again! The mechanicals for the deff roller is done, it rolls and is removable. The photos below show the particulars and where/how it attaches. I know…

Deff Rolla Construction
Made some progress over the weekend on the deff roller and had a little mini-vacation with the missus! Overall, a good weekend. The first pic today is a composite showing some in process while making the rollers themselves. The first inset is the armature end that connects the rollers to the connecting arms. The red…

Battle Damage
I’m pretty happy with how this thing’s turning out. Took a while to start “realizing” it, but I think I’ve finally got it. I unleashed the Dremel last night and went to town. It might seem like it’s not battle damaged enough but I want to save some open space to do Orky graffiti somewhere.…

After going around and around with many different design ideas, I came to the conclusion that GW’s Forgeworld version is pretty dang good and as good as any base design, so that’s where I’m going to work towards. It took me forever to…

Battlewagon Exhausts
Got the smokestacks done last night. Not the smoothest operation, I tell ya. made two mistakes be recovered from them OK. One was using two part epoxy to attach the stacks to the mounting plates. They’re two different type of plastic so I know regular polystyrene glue wouldn’t hold. The two part simply slid right…

Scratchbuilt Ork Battlewagon
This will be a one project only type thread centering on my Battlewagon. It’s one of those things that’s been on my back burner for a couple of years now. My tournament army is completely painted and I have the time to leisurely work on this, and it will take some time. I’m used to…
